Both are born into traditional worker families in Naples where tradition speaks first. One of the is smarter but the other one has more luck with not being forced into what was common those days for girls.

Book #1 in a series that revolves around two women whose lives have been entwined since their childhood. Set in Naples, Italy. Translation.
It hurts to not have loved this book as much as I wish I did. All my girlfriends did. But I just cod not get into it.
